Big fan of the app. One thing that have bothered me a bit though are bookmarks. Is there any way to sync them with the built in HN functionality? I often bookmark threads with 200+ comments to take notes later on the computer but I haven't found a decent way to transfer them without sending links one by one.

#62I used to use materialistic but then started just using Firefox to browse. Kudos to HN Devs for making it work so well on a browser in the day and age of apps.

#63First of all, I love the app (I'm writing this comment on it write now)!
I'd always wondered, is the UI inspired by Relay for Reddit? The sliding between, colour-coded comment chains you tap to collapse, I absolutely love it and it's the only other place I've seen it. I wish more apps used this style, it's so intuitive, pretty, and pleasant to use

#64Harmonic is the best HN client I ever used.

#65I usually refrain from installing apps from Aurora Store instead of F-Droid, but Harmonic is the one app for which I oblige. Thanks a lot for open-sourcing it. I wait for the day, where I can finally get a good HN client at F-Droid :)
Others have mentioned Materialistic and Glider. Both are great options that I used for a few years. However, I've recently changed to Hacki. It's also in the core F-Droid repo and works great for me as a HN client. Since it will even try to notify you of replies

#66Thanks for that ! I had a terrible HN app, and discovered Harmonic through this post. And it's so much better. <3

#67Harmonic is my main way to interact with HN.(writing this on Harmonic) Love the ux of just pushing articles down for the articles and was curious how it was implemented and why other applications don't do it. Thanks for creating and open sourcing Harmonic.

#68Awesome work! Just discovered this client and instantly fell in love with it!
Used it for a couple of minutes and thought "hey, it would be cool to be able to click on the story to get to the comments." Guess what, there is an option for that. One question though. Is it possible to change the accent color when using the Material You (light) theme?
Re: Show HN: Open sourcing Harmonic, my Android Hacker News client
#69Love love love Harmonic! I actually stopped using an iPhone because Harmonic was giving me a better experience than Octal on iOS.
A couple feature requests! 1. Enable deep linking. Capture the news.ycombinator links on my phone and they auto open in Harmonic 2. Something is broken in the login form that blocks my autofill from working (1password, but it should be the same for any as it's an Android level API)

Thank you! It is partly - I use Sync for reddit as my reddit client and that is an inspiration for much of the UI however I did actually download Relay because I know it had some interesting UI choices and stole some ideas from there. It's amusing that it is noticable
